Diabetes Diagnosis

Diabetes is diagnosed through one or more tests that measure blood sugar levels. Because its symptoms may be less noticeable or nonexistent, experts also recommend that people at high risk for type 2 diabetes undergo these tests as well.

Diabetes Treatment

The goal of diabetes treatment is to keep blood levels stable and stay healthy. In addition to drug therapy, it's important for people with diabetes to watch their diets and get the right amount of exercise.

Diabetes Diet

A diabetes diet can help keep blood glucose under control and ultimately reduce the risk of diabetes complications. In general, people with diabetes should make sure their diet is balanced and healthy.

Diabetes Complications

If blood glucose levels remain chronically elevated because of poorly controlled diabetes, tissue damage will eventually occur. And although this damage can happen anywhere in the body, the kidneys, eyes, nerves, and heart are at greatest risk.

Diabetes Related Conditions

People with diabetes are at increased risk of other physical and emotional health issues. Some of these are linked to the damage caused by uncontrolled blood sugar, while others may be tied to the stress of living with the disease.
